I knew getting people to buy the CDs would be impossible, but I didn't expect the whole situation to be that bad. Its Orchard Road leh, the link being, its probably the busiest and buzziest street in Singapore...asking people for donation was bad enough, who would still dare to ask them about the CDs? But its rather funny to see their reactions though.
When you approached people for donations:
- Some nodded their heads and walked away
- Some rejected you right in-front
- Some thought that you were invisible
- Some thought that you were some kind of plague, and started running
- Some made some remarks which you didn't understand and walked away
- Some just stared at you blankly, etc
Haha. Not driving at anything, but I'm just listing my encounters. Oh, and there were "allies" too. Haha. I think I can really understand how those people doing flag day felt when they were being rejected. But there were really quite some generous souls who donated twice or emptied all the coins in their pockets. Commendable!
